Scotsburn News

Welcome Back

The staff at Scotsburn would like to welcome back all of our families and extend a big welcome to our new families. We hope that you all had a wonderful break and enjoyed the improving weather. We would also like to thank the Klein family for looking after Pip and the many families who dropped in to feed the chooks over the break. It is greatly appreciated.

Newsletter

Please keep an eye out for the weekly newsletter. The Scotsburn section will have important dates and information regularly on it. Please make sure you have a read each week.

Compass

Don’t forget to use your personal login details to access compass. Notifications and updates will continue in this space now that the school app has been phased out.

Arrival Times

8:45am is an ideal time to arrive at school, as the classrooms and playground are not supervised until then. All children should be ready to start the day at 9am. If your child is absent on any given day, please ensure that you contact the Buninyong Primary School office to inform them.

Sun Smart

This term hats are compulsory outside at recess and lunch play. It is highly recommended that students also apply sunscreen to their face/ arms and legs to prevent any sunburn. Please also ensure that your child/children have their hat named.

Gr 6 Camp

The Grade 6’s are off to camp at Melbourne this week . It’s sure to be lots of fun. A reminder for all Gr 6 students that the bus will be leaving from the Buninyong campus at 8.30am.

Pre-Schooler Program

The first of 4 pre-schooler days will commence this Wednesday. This is always an exciting time for our new preps. As always, we encourage you to make the new preps and their families very welcome if you see them during these times.

Winning and losing

With the warmer weather approaching, we generally see more of the students involving themselves in games at recess and lunch. This is great to see as regular exercise is wonderful for us all. We have noticed that some students find participating in a organised games a little tricky though. It would be great if all parents could take the time to talk through the following link with their children. Many thanks. http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetailsKids.aspx?p=335&np=286&id=3008
